[SOLVED] Basic email concept

Post by yacahuma »

I need to undesrtand a basic email concept.

If I have a forum running on mydomain.com. A form in the forum allows user2 to send an email to user1

Somehow the systems have to send an email to user1 like it was sent from user2
so that when he replies, he will reply to user2.

What kind of permissions are needed if any?

Is the email protocol have 2 fields, one for where to reply to and the other who really sent the email????

Thank you
